he's a big time megachurch preacher in Houston whose sermons are shown on national tv all the time.

and you have a point, he don't really quote bible verses, they just run bible references on the bottom of the screen. Even true christians do not feed from his word on a regular basis, you can't, there's no preaching on the spiritual warfare, spiritual discipline, discipleship, and no teachings on Grace principles.

I wish they would be more transparent with the millions that they bring in. That's serious money that could make real changes happen. I dont honestly fuck with any of those mega churches money wise, cuz I feel what they be teaching on giving is just wrong man. and then even worse, who knows where the money goes? Im sure SOME of it feeds homeless people or helps sick kids or builds a church here and there, but MOST of it? Spent on maintaining the MEga Church man. And that ain't Biblical.

word. they avoid financial audits because of religious tax exemption. I wish there was more transparency. like you said, I'm sure SOME of the millions they pull in goes towards the Lord's work, but the rest goes towards operations and outright embezzlement. I can't help noticing how some of these preachers live in mansions, push luxury whips, fly in private jets, wear the finest suits, etc.

in general, it's all about money, showmanship, and mass-marketing. I see none of the discipline and humility that characterize the better things religion has done.
